To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!

Ok.. I think I understand that no fuse is better than a cheap fuse. And a good fuse is better than a cheap fuse. But is no fuse better than the best fuse?

One person on Audiogon said that he achieved better sound by using a Blue fuse over no fuse. I guess my question is... Do these new, high dollar fuses just allow the current to flow better with solid protection or do they actually due to quantum physics or something, actually improve upon the signal by eliminating errant bad electrons and thereby actually improving the music over no fuse at all?

I gots to know!

Fuses.... it works like this:

I hear chatter about fuses. I check my equipment, and find out I need eight fuses. Too much money. More than for my entire vintage system. So I get pissed, upset. Then I go online in revenge to all audiophile groups I can find denouncing fuses as snake oil

Question for the group: can one know much about his / her audio system without being an engineer? Further, if you are an engineer, do you even need to own any audio system to be an audio expert?

Yeah... and I really needed a car this year, as my car broke down. But then, the new model of the car I wanted is about to come out in 2020. So I did not buy my car, and I take the bus to work now 😉
